Call for Constituency Statements on WHOIS
Hello All, Just a reminder that the GNSO Constituencies should prepare their constituency statements for the three WHOIS task forces by 19 March 2004. Council members should forward this request to their constituencies, and encourage development of these statements during the meetings in Rome. There will be opportunities to discuss the issues in the various constituency meetings, as well as in the WHOIS workshops.
From the ICANN bylaws:
Constituency Statements. The (Task Force) Representatives will each be responsible for soliciting the position of their constituencies, at a minimum, and other comments as each Representative deems appropriate, regarding the issue under consideration. This position and other comments, as applicable, should be submitted in a formal statement to the task force chair (each, a "Constituency Statement") within thirty-five (35) calendar days after initiation of the PDP. Every Constituency Statement shall include at least the following: (i) If a Supermajority Vote was reached, a clear statement of the constituency's position on the issue; (ii) If a Supermajority Vote was not reached, a clear statement of all positions espoused by constituency members; (iii) A clear statement of how the constituency arrived at its position(s). Specifically, the statement should detail specific constituency meetings, teleconferences, or other means of deliberating an issue, and a list of all members who participated or otherwise submitted their views; (iv) An analysis of how the issue would affect the constituency, including any financial impact on the constituency; and (v) An analysis of the period of time that would likely be necessary to implement the policy.
